Speaker 1: So they'll make the company happy. And guess what it is?

Speaker 1: Can I have a drum roll? In New Zealand. It's

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: the eighth time they've wrought up, second year in a row.

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: Running out through the findings is Rand Stands National Director

00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: Richard Kennedy, who've done the survey? Hello, Richard good.

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: What makes the air New Zealand so good?

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: What makes that air New Zealand's so good? Well, firstly,

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: congratulations to their New Zealand for being recognized as New

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Zealand's most attractive place to work once again this year,

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: recognized for their financial health, solid reputation and attractive salary

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: and benefit. So I guess the wind reinforces their position

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: as an iconic brand and it's remained resilient through really

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: challenging times.

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: Well you can say that again because most people are

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: complaining about how high they air fears are and what's

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: happening with a lot of the things when it comes

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: to being a traveler. But I guess to work these good.

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's good. Yeah, they've worked extremely hard in terms

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: of making it a great place to work. You know,

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: I'm providing strong work life balance, attractive salary and benefits,

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: and good training, but also equity as well. And I

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: think equity is something which has come to the four

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: in this year's research. Equity, diversity, belonging, inclusion is something

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: which is prevalent throughout the New Zealand society and community

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: at this moment in time. And I think around fifty

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: percent of the people that were surveyed in this research

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: said that they wouldn't work for an organization unless they

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: were values aligned and had equity at the forefront of

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: their proposition.

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Well, one of the interesting things I found about your

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: surveyors that forty percent of New Zealanders have not received

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: inflation compensation from the current employer. And while you can

36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: understand that because that could actually drive employers to the wall,

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, that's.

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: The thing, yeah, it is effectively, it is affecting people.

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: You know, the market at this moment in time with

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: the current economic turbulen which is impacting the fluidity of

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: the job market. I think the employers really need to

42
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: look at their value proposition and their brand proposition and

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: implement strong work life balance, attractive salary benefits as much

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: as they can as possible, good training so offset. You know,

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: if they are unable to increase salaries alongside inflation, look

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: at their training. And also, you know, job security, which

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: is something which obviously everybody's looking for at this moment

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: in time.

49
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Because set for to Kennedy from Randstands, congratulations in New
